You probably won't hear any updates about your BOWP until later in April or early May because according to the CIC website they are currently working on online applications received on January 23. The processing time is up from 57 days and they are still working on application received on the same day for the past month.

All I can say is that CIC is working very slowly, or they are working very quickly but just understaffed.
Yes you right .. It looks like they are understaffed..
Since there is no response from CIC for my submitted PR application on March 6th , Received AOR on March 7th 2015 and my BOWP on March 9th 2015 I've requested my employer to provide LMIA if I need to work from early june 2015 as I have valid work permit till May ending.
I informed this issue to my employer in Feb 1st week. I got a reply from my employer yesterday stating that he send all the documents to service canada and he applied new LMIA and processing times are 10 days . he suggested me not to take any decision on job until he hear some news from service canada on LMIA.
My question is
My employer submitted my LMIA application yesterday through mail (I think its post) do service canada office in alberta edmonton deal with LMIA applications in 10 days?
I'm sure they are not going to deal with in 10 days.....It's just a guess may be service canada also understaffed
but if some miracle happens and i got LMIA in 10 days or may be in this month end I have only 1 month valid work permit..
do you people suggest me to apply work permit with new LMIA but with same employer?.
do you think i will have my new work permit by the time my valid work permit expires? .....
As per the timelines understaffed CIC still processing application which are submitted on Jan 22 ... they dont even bother to change the timelines. I guess they are still processing jan ending applications..
if they cant process my work permit application with new LMIA ..will I be on Implied status since my PR application currently in processes and my BOWP is in progress and may be work permit with new LMIA application will be In-process.
Please give me valid source from CIC, if any that I can work when my PR,BOWP/WK applications are in processing
OR
is it waste of submitting work permit with new LMIA applications ? since my PR,BOWP applications are in process...
I want you people to share your thoughts I know many people in this forums are facing situation same like me..
